Toxic and Problematic request: Jonathan Haidt

Love the guys and usually am pretty in line with their takes on stuff -

But the whole parenting-for-your-generation take is one of the rare times I find myself at odds with them. Over the years ive heard Lazlo say this and always agreed with it, but it was only after reading his book "The Anxious Generation" earlier this year that I find myself thinking its a very flawed mentality.

I know its a long shot as the book was #1 NYT bestseller, but hey - the guys have had Matt Taibbi and Snowcones music lawyer, so they can pull a big get here and there.
